I just mailed mine to my local police chief. I did include a letter stating that I'm only collecting. I wanted this to be known since I'm within 1000' of a local school (Brady Bill).. The copy to the local law is only if they feel you're not a person to be giving this license to..

Also, remember that you can buy anything on the "list" AND anything that you can show proof that it's 50 or more years old. I have an addiction to old Mossberg .22 rifles, and many were not made for very many years.. For some reason, I've accumulated 4 different Mossberg 151K's.. Since they stopped making them in 1952, they're C and R eligible, even though they're not on the "list"..

They cashed my check quickly, but it took almost 3 months before my packet of stuff showed up..

One more thing.. Not everybody accepts an 03 FFL.. If I have to fill out a 4473 form, the gun doesn't go in my bound book. And if I sell a gun that's eligible, and it's not in my bound book, it's also not checked out of my bound book..

The paperwork seems a little overwhelming at first, but it's very simple once you understand the rules. If you use your 03 to purchase, put it in your book. If not, it's no different than buying a new GLOCK or anything else.. It's just a 4473 purchase, just as though you didn't have a 03 license in the first place.
